Converting Unicode to UTF-8 character set through Oracle forms(10g)

Hi,
I am working on oracle forms (10g) where i need to load files containing unicode character set (multilingual characters) to database.
but while loading the file , junk characters are getting inserted into the database tables.
while reading the file through forms , i am using utl_file.fopen_nchar,utl_file.get_line_nchar functions to read the unicode characters ...
the application server , and database server characterset are set to american utf8 characteset.
In fact , when i change the text file characterset to utf8 through an editor(notepad ++,etc) , in that case , data is getting inserted into database properly,(at least working for english characters) , but not with unicode ...
Any guidance in this regard are highly appreciated
Thank you in advance

The solution to this problem is described in MetaLink note #211920.1. But this note is published with LIMITED access as it involves using a hidden parameter.

Storing an Excel File in the Oracle Table through Oracle Form (10g)

Hi,
We have the below requirement in the Oracle Forms (10g).
Database: 11g
Application: R12
We need to provide an upload functionality to the user, so that he can upload an excel file into the form (from the local system), this is achived.
Now what we need to do is that we need to capture the path of the document (in the local system) and we need to store the document in a Oracle table.
Next we need to validate the records that are being loaded and the error records should be written into one more file and that file also we need to store in an Oracle table, this is because, i need to query this error file from the table later and need to send to the user as an e-mail.
Basically i started off with the below code just for the POC. but iam facing the error. Please help. I did not put this code in my form.
Create Table Email_Attachments(Id_Pk Integer Primary Key,Fname Varchar2(50),Image Blob);

How to Write the error records it to the file and store it in an Oracle table?
Will the below table be of use to me?

Please share your ideas as to how to acheive this.
Thanks and Regards

When you want to process the file, them it depends on the format. "Excel file" is a term that is used for a variety of file formats, mostly simple CSV, binary (true) XLS and XLSX.
So to get help you have to give us more information. Since the file is already in the db you might get better answers at {forum:id=75}. The forum has a FAQ that has a whole section {message:id=9360007}.

Invalid Characters shown in UTF-8 character set

There is an XMLP report whose template output character set is ISO-8859-1. The character set ISO-8859-1 is required for this report as per Spanish Authorities. When the report is run, output gets generated in the output directory file of application server. This output file doesn't contain any invalid characters.
But when the output is opened from SRS window, which opens it in a browser, the invalid characters are shown for characters like Ñ , É etc.
Investigation done:
Found that the output generated on the server is having ISO encoding and hence doesn't contain any invalid characters. Whereas the output generated from SRS window, it is in UTF encoding, so it seems the invalid characters are displayed when conversion takes place from ISO to UTF-8 format.
Created the eText output using the data xml and template using BI publisher tool, the output is in ISO encoding. So if i go and change the encoding to UTF-8 by opening it in explorer or Notepad++, invalid charcters are shown for Ñ, É etc.
Is there any limitation, that output from SRS window will show only in UTF-8 encoding? If not then please suggest.
Thanks,
Saket

Hi Srini,
When customer is viewing output from the SRS window, then it contains invalid characters because it is in UTF-8 character set. Customer is on Oracle OnDemand so they cannot take the output generated on the server.Every time they have to raise a request to Oracle for the output file. So the concern here is, why don't the output from SRS window show output with valid characters ?
The reason could be conversion of ISO format to UTF-8. How could this be resolved ? Does SRS window output cannot generate in ISO format ?
A quick reply will be appreciated as customer is chasing for an update.
Thanks,
Saket

Upload the excel file in oracle db through oracle forms

Hi all,
I want to upload the excel file in oracle db through oracle forms...I am new to oracle forms .
I have searched a lot but not getting exact solution
Is there anyone who will help me out with this .....
Any help will be appriciated

I'm trying to move data from excel into an Oracle forms field. This involves coping 2 columns of data cells in excel and pasting it into an Oracle forms field. I can get the date pasted into the Oracle forms field but there is a invisible character that separates the 2 columns of data coming from Excel. I do not know what this character is but it is causing the error 'Line 1 is invalid. Check forms'.
Any ideas how to get pass this?

UTF/Japanese character set and my application

Blankfellaws...
a simple query about the internationalization of an enterprise application..
I have a considerably large application running as 4 layers.. namely..
1) presentation layer - I have a servlet here
2) business layer - I have an EJB container here with EJBs
3) messaging layer - I have either Weblogic JMS here in which case it is an
application server or I will have MQSeries in which case it will be a
different machine all together
4) adapter layer - something like a connector layer with some specific or
rather customized modules which can talk to enterprise repositories
The Database has few messages in UTF format.. and they are Japanese
characters
My requirement : I need thos messages to be picked up from the database by
the business layer and passed on to the client screen which is a web browser
through the presentation layer.
What are the various points to be noted to get this done?
Where and all I need to set the character set and what should be the ideal
character set to be used to support maximum characters?
Are there anything specifically to be done in my application code regarding
this?
Are these just the matter of setting the character sets in the application
servers / web servers / web browsers?
Please enlighten me on these areas as am into something similar to this and
trying to figure out what's wrong in my current application. When the data
comes to the screen through my application, it looks corrupted. But the asme
message when read through a simple servlet, displays them without a problem.
Am confused!!
Thanks in advance

Hello Manesh,
For the database I would recommend using UTF-8.
As for the character problems, could you elaborate which version of WebLogic
are you using and what is the nature of the problem.
If your problem is that of displaying the characters from the db and are
using JSP, you could try putting
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%> on the
first line,
or if a servlet .... response.setContentType("text/html; charset=UTF-8");
Also to automatically select the correct charset by the browser, you will
have to include
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"> in the
jsp.
You could replace the "UTF-8" with other charsets you are using.
I hope this helps...
David.

Character set error oracle 10g

I have a 10g TARGET database with a single byte character set of western european and 9i SOURCE databse with multibyte character of UTF8 since the character sets are different to load data from 9i to 10g I am using national character set NCHAR columns on target database to store the multi byte data :
this is the table i am working on loading
CREATE TABLE RAN_TEST1_MDL
( MODEL_ID NUMBER(15) NOT NULL,
PRODUCT_ID NUMBER(15) NULL,
MODEL_CODE NVARCHAR2(540) NULL,
ODM_CODE NVARCHAR2(900) NULL,
MODEL_DESC NVARCHAR2(1200) NULL )
tablespace csn_d_01 LOGGING NOCOMPRESS NOCACHE NOPARALLEL MONITORING
The table is test table on oracle 10g database .
This is the query I am running
INSERT /*+append*/ INTO WORK_HIER_MDL(
MODEL_ID,
PRODUCT_ID,
MODEL_CODE,
ODM_CODE,
MODEL_DESC
SELECT
MODEL_ID,
PRODUCT_ID,
MODEL_CODE,
ODM_CODE,
MODEL_DESC
FROM SHLD_HIER_MDL
shld_hier_mdl is source table from oracle 9i multi byte UTF8 database.
WORK_HIER_MDL is target table on oracle 10g single byte western european databse
Error : ORA-29275: partial multibyte character
When I describe the source table SHLD_HIER_MDL ( on 9i oracle accesed thru a db link ) I get the following error
ORA-01460: unimplemented or unreasonable conversion requested
I think ORA-29275 and ORA-01460 are correleted . Can anyone suggest what could be the cause for this ? Thanks

Error:     ORA-29275 (ORA-29275)
Text:     partial multibyte character
Cause:     The requested read operation could not complete because a partial
     multibyte character was found at the end of the input.
Action:     Ensure that the complete multibyte character is sent from the
     remote server and retry the operation. Or read the partial
     multibyte character as RAW.
you can export the table and import on 10g.Rename the table,create your test table and use IAS.

How to set or change character set for Oracle 10 XE

Installing via RPM on Linux.
I need to have my database set to use UTF8 and WE8ISO8859P15 as the character set and national character set. (Think those are in the right order. If not, it's the opposite.)
If I do a standard "yum localinstall rpm-file-name," it installs Oracle. I then run the "/etc/init.d/oracle-xe configure" command to set my ports.
Every time I do this, I end up with AL32/AL16 character sets.
I finally hardcoded ISO-8859-15 as the Linux 'locale' character set and set this in the various bash profile config files. Now, I end up with WE8MSWIN1252 as the character set and AL16UTF16 as the national character set.
I've tried editing the createdb.sh script to hard code the character set types and then copied that file over the original while the RPM is still installing. I've tried editing the nls_lang.sh script to hard code the settings there and copied over the original shell script while the RPM is still installing.
Doesn't matter.
HOW can I do this? If I wait until after the RPM is installed and try running the createdb.sh file, then it ends up creating a database but not doing everything properly. I end up missing pfiles or spfiles. Various errors crop up.
If I try to change them from the sql command line, I am told that the new character set must be a superset of the old one. It fails.
I'm new to Oracle, so I'm treading water that's uncharted. In short, I need community help. It's important to the app I'm running and attempting to migrate from to maintain these character sets.
Thanks.

I don't think you can change Oracle XE character set. When downloading Oracle XE you must choose to download:
- either the Universal Edition using AL32UTF8
- or the Western Euopean Edition using WE8MSWIN1252.
See http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25144/toc.htm#BABJACJJ
If you really need UTF8 instead of AL32UTF8 you need to use Oracle Standard Edition or Oracle Entreprise Edition:
these editions allow to select database character set at database creation time which is not really possible with Oracle XE
Note that changing environment variable NLS_LANG has nothing to do with changing database character set:

We were able to do the same thing with Oracle Application Server and Oracle WebLogic Server. I cannot remember how different the processes were, but it seems like they were very similar. I am going to give you the instructions on how we implemented a "Read PDF" procedure on the WebLogic Server. If you are still on the Application Server you may have to do some Google searches, but it all boils down to the mod_plsql DAD Configuration file.
Our PDF was located in a table with the following structure:
CASE_DOCUMENTS
   (id_document                    NUMBER NOT NULL,
    doc_blob                       BLOB,
    note                           VARCHAR2(240),
    created_by                     VARCHAR2(20) NOT NULL,
    created_dt                     DATE NOT NULL,
    case_id                        NUMBER NOT NULL,
    filename                       VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL)Based on that table structure we created a procedure named READ_PDF which you will reference below in the dads.conf file below:
CREATE or REPLACE procedure read_pdf (p_id_document IN number)
is
view_file     blob;
BEGIN
select doc_blob
    into view_file
    from case_documents
   where id_document = p_id_document;
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER ('APPLICATION/PDF', FALSE);
HTP.P ('CONTENT-LENGTH: ' || DBMS_LOB.GETLENGTH (view_file));
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
WPG_DOCLOAD.download_file (view_file);
END;
GRANT EXECUTE ON read_pdf TO financial_user_role -- Name of role to execute
/Basically, you are passing in one parameter and that is the primary key for your table. You are selecting the pdf stored in a BLOB for that primary key. The commands below that allow the pdf to open up so you can view it – we got this off some search we did a few years ago.
Now, you need to add logic to your Oracle Form that will call the procedure above, but the URL is based on the dads.conf file that we will set up below… Anyway, we created a button on the form module with a label of "View". In the WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED trigger the logic looks like this:
-- The View logic uses the DAD (Database Access Descriptors) method to view a .pdf file from the form.
-- The DAD was created on WebLogic Server with the name findadgen. This allows an http request be made
-- to the database.
declare
v_file          varchar2(400);
v_success       boolean;
ret_val         number;
v_http_link     varchar2(400);
begin
-- The format of the link is as follows: hostname:port/pls/DAD_name/procedure_name
v_http_link := 'http://finas03:8888/pls/findadgen/read_pdf?p_id_document=' || :case_documents.id_document;
web.show_document(v_http_link, '_BLANK');
end;The name of our WebLogic Server is "finas03" so that is what is listed in the URL. The "findadgen" is the name of the <Location> in the dads.conf file below, the "read_pdf" is the name of the procedure we created above, the "p_id_document=" is the IN parameter listed in the READ_PDF procedure created above, and the ":case_documents.id_document" is the reference to the primary key in our Oracle Form.
For WebLogic, you can either go through Enterprise Manager (directions below) or update the dads.conf file on the filesystem directly (if you update the dads.conf file directly then skip to step 4 and ignore step 5):
1.     Enterprise Manager -> Web Tier -> ohs1
2.     Oracle HTTP Server (pull-down) – Administration – Advance Configuration
3.     Select File – dads.conf
4.     Add something similar:
# ============================================================================
#                     mod_plsql DAD Configuration File
# ============================================================================
# 1. Please refer to dads.README for a description of this file
# ============================================================================
# Note: This file should typically be included in your plsql.conf file with
# the "include" directive.

    PlsqlNLSLanguage AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
    PlsqlAuthenticationMode Basic
    PlsqlDefaultPage read_pdf
</Location>You are adding the <Location> section to your dads.conf file. The "finddadgen" is the name that you will reference in a change you fill make to your Oracle Form. The "financial" is the Schema, the "sdo_3#d1" is the password for that Schema, the "ffindb" is the database that the stored procedure is located on, and the "read_pdf" is a stored procedure you will have to create in order to read the pdf.
5.     Press the "Apply" Button
6.     Obfuscate the DAD password by running the dadTool.pl script located in $ORACLE_HOME/bin (This was done on Unix on our server with the following commands):
$> LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib;export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
$> cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
$> perl dadTool.pl -f /u01/app/oracle/middleware/asinst_1/config/OHS/ohs1/mod_plsql/dads.conf
7.     Restart the Oracle HTTP Server using Fusion Middleware Control:
Enterprise Manager -> Web Tier -> ohs1
Oracle HTTP Server – Control – Shutdown
Oracle HTTP Server – Control – Start Up
If you followed the instructions above, you should have created a stored procedure, added logic to your Oracle form to reference that stored procedure, and created an entry in the dads.conf file. Once you move the form onto the server and you restart the HTTP Service, you should be able to view a pdf that is stored in a table directly from your Oracle Form.

Sending E-mail Through Oracle Forms

Hi all
what i want is as the following:
1- i would like to convert the report to the PDF file internally using code.
2- open the outlook.
3- attcah the PDF automatically to the e-mail.
4- finally sending the e-mail though outlook
could i do that in Oracle forms 6i if i could do that can anyone instruct me to do it step by step

Oh...it's now called ["My Oracle Support"|https://metalink.oracle.com/] .
There's a note on "My Oracle Support" on this item.
This is the note:
Subject:      OLE AUTOMATION: Example Sending a Mail From Forms to Outlook
     Doc ID:      119828.1      Type:      BULLETIN
     Modified Date :      02-SEP-2008      Status:      PUBLISHED
PURPOSE
This document contains a sample code how to send an e-mail from Forms to Outlook
(97-2000).
SCOPE & APPLICATION
It can be used in addition of the whitepaper "Cracking Outlook!", which explains
the object model of Outlook in detail.
(Have a look in the Technical Libaries Folder Forms Whitepaper, their you can
find it)
OLE: Forms to Outlook
Object Model
"Cracking outlook!" explains the Object Model, you can find additional
information in the Visual Basic Help of Outlook, which must be installed from
your Office CD-Rom. Once installed, you can access the help
by choosing Tools->Macro->Visual Basic Editor and then go to the Help or
Object Browser (view -> Object Browser)
Now you can retrieve the Objects, their Methods and Properties.
Eg: the 'Application' Object has the Method 'CreateItem'.
Note this information is also available in MSDN library or if you require more
information on this Microsoft has to be contacted.
OLE2, CLIENT_OLE2 Package
Once you know the Objects, Methods and Properties you can access them with the
OLE2 package. This package provides a PL/SQL API for creating, manipulating,
and accessing attributes of OLE2 automation objects. When using OLE2 with
WebForms every call will be executed on the midtier and not on the client.
So alternatively, the CLIENT_OLE2 package can be used, that is delivered by
Webutil, to execute the OLE code on the client.
Examples
Once you know the Outlook Object model and you know the functions of the OLE2
or CLIENT_OLE2 package you can write your own OLE2/CLIENT_OLE2 code to send a
mail via Outlook.
Here below are 2 different ways of sending an email using Outlook.
Sample 1:
OLE2 sample: Here a MailItem is created, then the Recepient is explicitely
added and resolved. The mailItem is saved before being sent.
Declare
/*declaration of the Outlook Object Variables*/
application ole2.OBJ_TYPE;
hMailItem ole2.OBJ_TYPE;
hRecipients ole2.OBJ_TYPE;
recipient ole2.OBJ_TYPE;
nameSpace OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
/*declaration of the argument list*/
args OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
begin
/*create the Application Instance*/
application:=ole2.create_obj('Outlook.Application');
/* create namespace and login */
args:=ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.add_arg(args,'MAPI');
nameSpace:=ole2.invoke_obj(application,'getNameSpace',args);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
ole2.invoke(nameSpace,'Logon');
/*create a Mail Instance by calling CreateItem Method and giving argument 0 with
it,
you can find the item types in the explanation of the CreateItem Method
(0=olMailItem,1=olAppointmentItem, ?)*/
args:=ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.add_arg(args,0);
hMailItem:=ole2.invoke_obj(application,'CreateItem',args);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
/*Get the Recipients property of the MailItem object:
Returns a Recipients collection that represents all the Recipients for the
Outlook item*/
args:=ole2.create_arglist;
hRecipients:=ole2.get_obj_property(hMailItem,'Recipients',args);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
/*Use the Add method to create a recipients Instance and add it to the
Recipients collection*/
args:=ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.add_arg(args,'[email protected]');
recipient:=ole2.invoke_obj(hRecipients,'Add',args);
/* put the property Type of the recipient Instance to value needed
(0=Originator,1=To,2=CC,3=BCC)*/
ole2.set_property(recipient,'Type',1);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
/*Resolve the Recipients collection*/
args:=ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.invoke(hRecipients,'ResolveAll',args);
/*set the Subject and Body properties*/
ole2.set_property(hMailItem,'Subject','Test OLE2 to Outlook');
ole2.set_property(hMailItem,'Body','this is body text');
/*Save the mail*/
ole2.invoke(hMailItem,'Save',args);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
/*Send the mail*/
args:=ole2.create_arglist;
ole2.invoke(hMailItem,'Send',args);
ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
/*Release all your Instances*/
release_obj(hMailItem);
release_obj(recipient);
release_obj(hRecipients);
release_obj(nameSpace);
release_obj(application);
end;
Sample 2
CLIENT_OLE2 sample. Here a MailItem is created with an attachment and directly
sent.
Declare
objOutlook CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
objMail CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
objArg CLIENT_OLE2.LIST_TYPE;
objAttach CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
nameSpace CLIENT_OLE2.OBJ_TYPE;
BEGIN
objOutlook := CLIENT_OLE2.CREATE_OBJ('Outlook.Application');
/* create namespace and login */
args:=client_ole2.create_arglist;
client_ole2.add_arg(args,'MAPI');
nameSpace:=ole2.invoke_obj(objOutlook,'getNameSpace',args);
client_ole2.destroy_arglist(args);
client_ole2.invoke(nameSpace,'Logon');
-- Previous example usually used 'mapi.session' but this doesn't work correctly
--anymore.
objarg := CLIENT_OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
CLIENT_OLE2.ADD_ARG(objarg,0);
objMail := CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE_OBJ(objOutlook,'CreateItem', objarg);
CLIENT_OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(objarg);
objAttach := CLIENT_OLE2.GET_OBJ_PROPERTY(objmail, 'Attachments');
objarg := CLIENT_OLE2.CREATE_ARGLIST;
CLIENT_OLE2.ADD_ARG(objarg,'c:\temp\test.txt'); -- filename
CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'To','[email protected]');
CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'Subject','Email sent from Oracle Forms 9i');
CLIENT_OLE2.SET_PROPERTY(objmail,'Body','This is an email that was sent using
CLIENT_OLE2 from Oracle forms 9i');
CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE(objattach, 'Add', objarg);
CLIENT_OLE2.INVOKE(objmail,'Send');
CLIENT_OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(objmail);
CLIENT_OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(nameSpace);
CLIENT_OLE2.RELEASE_OBJ(objOutlook);
CLIENT_OLE2.DESTROY_ARGLIST(objarg);
END;
Notes:
These are just 2 different ways of sending a mail by Outlook and using the
Outlook Object Model.
The first example can also be used with CLIENT_OLE2, and the second example can
also be used with OLE2.
(just replace every OLE2 to CLIENT_OLE2 or every CLIENT_OLE2 call to OLE2).

Layout unit setting on Oracle Form 6.0.5

Hi,
I have a master form which holds master objects whose size are in inch (eg. 0.24 x 0.24). But when referred as subclass in other form (Oracle form builder environment), their size auto-resize as 240 x 240. Eventhough I tried to setting layout units by inch (menu Format\Layout Options\Layout...), I can not re-configure their size to origion by property setting (issued error FRM-10050: Valid vale must be entered). Anybody help me.
Thanks in advance.

I wouldn't have thought there was anything to stop you using capitals in the key mapping definition. You should be able to define ctrl E to do the same as ctrl e.
The problem is you have to use oracle*terminal to define it on client/server.
You can define functions for alphabetic characters combined with a modifier key such as control. You cannot use alphabetic characters on their own as that would conflict with their use for normal typing.
